I have been using this code and I really like it.
I wonder if you ever did the following:

A method that creates an excerpt of a string containing HTML code without breaking tags.

Thanks,
Miguel

this is a new Csharp syntax, try to replace

MatchEvaluator HrefMatch = m => m.Groups[1].Value + “href..;,;..” + m.Groups[2].Value;
MatchEvaluator ClassMatch = m => m.Groups[1].Value + “class..;,;..” + m.Groups[2].Value;
MatchEvaluator UnsafeMatch = m => m.Groups[1].Value + m.Groups[4].Value;

for this

MatchEvaluator HrefMatch = delegate(Match m) { return (m.Groups[1].Value + “href..;,;..” + m.Groups[2].Value); };
MatchEvaluator ClassMatch = delegate(Match m) { return (m.Groups[1].Value + “class..;,;..” + m.Groups[2].Value); };
MatchEvaluator UnsafeMatch = delegate(Match m) { return (m.Groups[1].Value + m.Groups[4].Value); };

here are the corrections:

1) use this as a string: h1 style=”clear:none” The Miners Strike of 1984 h1 (I have removed the angular brackets but you get the idea)

2) I get the result:

h1:none” The Miners Strike of 1984 /h1

Cheers

use this as a string: “any old text goes here”

my allowed html elements are: p, i, b, h1 (i.e. h1 tags ARE allowed)

When I pass them through to the StripTagsAndAttributes method, I get the result:

“any old text goes here”

I know the stripping of attributes is responsible for this and I should use the StripTags method instead but if h1 is in my allowed list shouldn’t the StripTagsAndAttributes method ignore all attributes associated with this tag?

Cheers

Any ideas?

I found another problem: an attribute where the value contains ‘-’ then only the part before ‘-’ will be removed.

string oldOutput;
do
{
oldOutput = Output;
/* Remove unsafe attributes in any of the remaining tags */
Output = new Regex(@”()”).Replace(Output, UnsafeMatch);
} while (oldOutput != Output);

Congrats for the nice post.

I have a problem when i have multipe attributes. Only the last attribute is stripped.

code:
string test = “test paragraph”;
Console.WriteLine(StripTagsAndAttributes(test, new string[] { “p” }));
